Arizona Diamondbacks (62-77, B. Webb)

at

Pittsburgh Pirates (58-82, M. Redman)


Best Line: ARZ -111, PITT +110


With the NCAA Executive Committee not considering Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitcher Mark Redman a name hostile and abusive to Native-American tribes, the pale-faced lefthander will take the hill tonight in a who-cares? tilt against Arizona. And look for Arizona’s line-up to run up the score. With Pirates Oliver Perez and Zach Duke close to returning from injuries, Redman is fighting to keep his spot in the Pirates’ crowded starting rotation, even though he’s gone a horrifying 1-10 in his last 15 starts. Excuse me, with performances like that, he shouldn’t be able to keep the resin bag, let alone a starting spot. An Arizona annihilation. Incidentally, when will the NCAA look into the term “Diamondbacks” as being hostile and abusive to Canal Street Jews?
